Kenryoku_Maxis,

Back then, 3D was everything. Mario and The Legend of Zelda really showcased how 3D games should work. Then Rare was doing the same with their games like Banjo, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark. The few 3rd party developers that the N64 had did the same. It's all about competing for Sales on a platform. This is similar to the situation with the PS3 and Xbox 360. The developers are really focused on the Graphics Engines.

If 3D was everything, then the N64 would have become the best selling system.  Same with the PS3 or XBOX360.

3D Graphics aren't 'everything'.  Appealing to all markets with a wide variety of games is, and always has been, the way to run a system.  Its what made the NES and SNES the king and its what is making the Wii and DS sell the best.

this gen been more about appeling the biggest usershare. wii more casual. compared to ps3 or 360

ps3 find it more varied, 360 got tons of fps, rpgs (most shared, racers (most shared)-

wii have good library, but not at the scale both 360 and ps3 have managed to keep third party speaking.
